Not clicking the left corner, I have a Pavilion g7 with intel Core i3 and you need to tap the circle like area of the mousepad

I have a HP 8570p and the mousepad isn't working. The light isn't on the left corner of the pad and double tap doesn't work. I was able to bring up the task manager and I is going crazy. Please help

I tried tapping on left side in the upper corner. It didn't work. I'm a quad, therefore have limited use od my hands. I''m always accidently  tapping. That causes me all kinds of problems. i need it diabled, period. All I need is the right and left buttons and of course, the scroll. Please help me. I went into my mouse settings and the touchpad settiings don't even show. I have windows 8.

Double clicking the touchpad doesn't work for me. I have an Acer Aspire E1-572. Please Help

Excellent - your suggestio to go Start, Mouse, open Mounse, then enable touchpad worked perfectly for my HP ProBook

Marvellous - I have no idea how I disabled the touchpad but suspect I dorkily hit a Fn key combination by accident.

Thanks so much
